Coconut Water Review from ConsumerLab

- What's really in popular brands of coconut water and how do these products compare to one another, as well as to just drinking water? ConsumerLab's Tod Cooperman, M.D. explains, based on recent test findings reported at bit.ly/2V3qBBT for Naked, Taste Nirvana, Trader Joe's, Vita Coco, Zico, and Coco Hydro (a powdered coconut water).
Our tests revealed that one coconut water product inaccurately listed the amount of sugar it provided. In addition, sugar levels ranged across the products by 64%, sodium by 460%, magnesium by 870%, and the amount of potassium in a cup of each ranged from 285 mg to 490 mg. We also found that you could spend from 72 cents to as much as $1.98 for a cup of coconut water.

Coconut water is a natural balanced liquid ! We drank it in Mexico instead of the contaminated well water for months and felt great ! The sugar in coconut water is a natural ( unless sugar was added ) sugar, not refined white (cane sugar) and doesn't have the same negative effect on the body !! I wanted to make that distinction !!
Nothing wrong with enjoying coconut water from time-to-time but don't fool yourself about the sugar. Whether natural or added, it is still sugar, same calories. So, unless you have no other choice, better to drink water most of the time.
Roberto Verdi u told him these so called experts couldn’t walk a mile in Dr sebi shoes

Isnt there added sugar in gatorade? Not natural sugar correct?
@@angelsummers6555 you are right. Don't believe the guy on this video.
Good report. But u recommended Gatorade for sodium. Then talk about the sugar in coconut water? Gatorade has tons of sugar.
Coconut water fresh from coconut tree is recommended
You can get zero sugar Gatorade.
Salesman for PEPSICO ?
Disagree with people having enough potassium
Agree. Potassium was the only thing on my blood work that I was slightly deficient on this year. And I rarely eat out and use little salt when cooking.
Yes most Americans are deficient in posttasim magnesium zinc selenium
Working 12 hour shifts in a paper mill , I tried every drink I thought would help prevent muscle cramps . I found V8 Low Sodium with potassium Vegetable juice ( Ice Cold ) , and it's oddly refreshing compared to sugary sports drinks .
Thanks god, in my country coconut is not too expensive, 1 young coconut (contain 3 - 4 glass in this video) cost is only Rp. 8000, and 1 young super coconut is only Rp. 12000 (1 USD = Rp. 15000).
Thanks god for giving us a lot of coconut tree, and we can drink coconut water everytime n everywhere.
🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨
That's amazing that they are so affordable! They're cheaper than bottled water.
Lucky you
Hi !
Which is the best Coconut water in packs to buy? I am hesitant about the hidden ingredients , if it really has or not.
I usually buys the “Malee 100% coconut water”, which is available here in Japan . Please, can you make a review on it ? Thanks a lot !
Im your new subscriber today. Thanks!
My ancestors THRIVED off of coconut water. Coconut water > Gatorade. Lol
So with the zico water bottle before you shake it...it has particles that have to breakdown that I've personally never noticed with real coconut water...idk but I am curious myself what is it?
We are a little particular to the real thing on our farm, but you will notice majority coco waters are from concentrate. Naked Juice Organic and Costco Organic are in my opinion best option if real coconut not available.
Very informative. Thank you doc!
Pretty sure most of us are actually deficient in Potassium and when you have more toxins in the body, which majority of the population does these days (esp. in last ten years as tested through Aphresis in Germany), toxins displace potassium and cause cellular dysfunction. In saying all that, the high sugar in Coconut Water may not make it the best choice for upping levels every day. Would be neat to see the report! Thanks!
Yea I thought we were pretty deficient in Potassium as well
this is correct.
We got a load of naked coconut water cheap as it’s nearing its expiration date. One cup a day over ice is lovely and refreshing!
Thank you for the great Video I drink coconut Water zico every day
Because no added sugar
Wow great information. Thanks for the video!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your feedback.
There's coconut water (which is from actual coconut) and then there's the stuff on your table that you're talking about...Industrially modified stuff are manipulated for profit . Aide from not being fresh and environmentally friendly, they are never the same as the real stuff.
Real coconut water its about $5 for like 20oz
@@rustyshackleford4383I need to find it😭
Did they add refined sugar to the coconut water, or is it natural sugar?
I would not recommend Gatorade if you need a little bit more sodium I would sprinkle a pinch of Himalayan sea salt in it
Thank you for the good info on coconut water. Is the sugar naturlly in the water or is it added for tast? Best. Mehran from San Diego
Natural
Outstanding video and very informative!
Glad you found in it helpful. Thanks
Great video! Thank you!
You're welcome. Thanks for your feedback.
Hi Karen! Wow I can't believe I found you here lol we're Facebook friends 😁
I stopped listening when he said Gatorade 🥴
Literally same.
When you look at the sugar content and that's not even counting those coconut water products that don't add sugar, and you compare that with the amount of minerals in the water, it's hardly worth it. If you're just sipping 8 ounces all day long for a cool refreshing drink, then it might be worth it if it doesn't tax your blood sugar. But for many people that sugar content is going to spike their insulin if they're drinking it like any other drink. And some are just chugging it like they would water.
Den how many glass u have to take everyday?.
Suger and fat is extremely healthy IF your fit... like everything its balance, i lost 30 pounds this year, 190 to 160, i exercize, i eat alot of deli sandwitches and whole fruits, breads... and my digestive system was awful, and i couldent figure out why, i added juice/soda and chinese food to my weekend diet, and i feel 100% now
Thanks for Good information
Not doing the full results was a tease had to down thumb.
Were cud we find more pink coconut water besides harmless harvest
Is coconut water good for dehydration?
For mild dehydration, it is fine, like water. For serious dehydration, a sports drink is better as it will provide more sodium. This is discussed in the "Rehydration" section of our Coconut Water Review at www.consumerlab.com/reviews/best-coconut-water-review-and-comparison/coconut-water/.
Can we store coconut water? I got VITA coco 2 weeks ago and opened and drank a little, can I drink the rest now, I kept it in the refrigerator all the time. Please suggest?
Their website says consume within 48 hours after opening
I do wish you guys who comment on theses hydration drinks would at least agree with each other. Some say that Gatorade is full of sugar and Coconut water is the way to go. Here you're telling us that Gatorade is better because of the sodium content. No wonder us mere mortals are so thoroughly confused by it all
Zico coconut is pure coconut water. If you notice on the other brands it says 100% juice but Zico is 100% coconut water. Deffo the baste tasting in my opinion and most natural in terms of taste(Zico)
Nirvana is delicious but I think they add a little more sugar to make it sweeter. After Zico Vita Coco is next best for taste IMO.
I like zico the best too and than vita. Right on holds true to this day. The vita adds a tiny amount of sugar and vit c
How much are the calories in a coconut water per 100ml Doctor??
So what's the best substitute for water for someone who doesn't drink water. I've tried fruit-flavoured water, sparkling water and other types of water but finally found coconut water. I was a Coca-Cola drinker for over 40 years, 6-8 cans a day until I found coconut water.
Beer or wine.😂
Thank you Dr Todd
i was looking for your channel long time ago now i found you.. 😽😽😽❤❤❤
Anyone familiar with Goya coconut water (with pulp), 98 cents for a 17.6 fl oz can at Wal-Mart. It tastes sweeter than others. I'd like to get to know the production but I can't find anything about it. Only that the coconuts they use are farmed in Thailand.
With pulp is sweeter
I guess atleast we know wit pulp it’s real😩
If the coconut water is fresh from the fruit itself is it good for dehydration? esp when suffering from diarrhea?
Fresh or bottled, it is mostly water with some potassium, so it is fine for treating dehydration so long as you also get some sodium (salt).
Another youtube video said that if you have acid reflux a glass of coconut water before bed will help?
No. Must have been a different person who said that.
@@ConsumerlabPlus Didn't mean to imply it was one of your videos since I knew it wasn't. Was just curious if there was anything to it.
I drink around 500ml per day during my training outside that i drink water is it a good balance?
Its fine. Just drink it!😉
You will excrete excess potassium if you have well functioning kidneys. If you are super concerned dilute with water 💦
Almost subscribed till you recommended Gatorade
Sometimes coconut burst itself what's the reason ?
Electrolit Pedialyte Coconut has all benefits and of all these only having less sugar!
How much biotin does 100ml coconut water contains
Gatorade??? It's full of sugar lol
They do have no sugar Gatorades.
So i have a serious question , on the alpro coconut no sugars , all plant totally unsweetened 1 liter package , looks like the one u have all the way to the right there , it says on the label of ingredients : 7% coconut milk and 2.6% coconut water..... that is 9.6% , so i wonder really hard what are the other 90% of the actual ingredients in this product !
the first ingredient listen on the packaging says WATER , but it does not say how many % for some odd reason , and it does not say where this so called water is coming from or are taken from , is it regular TAP WATER filled with chemicals and fluoride ? is it natural well water or spring water without added chemicals , i mean this is quite worrying to know that you are drinking only 9 % that are actually coconut water and 90% of something else , don't u think ?
are people not looking in to these things or questioning it when they buy these products ..... there is a big concern here when it claims to be a 100% natural plant product but 90% of it are not even coconut milk or coconut water , don't u think ?
I drink a coke to two cokes a day depending somtimes I’ll skip a day and drink water .... will coconut water be a good substitute instead of coke ? I love coconut water but I’m scared if I drink a can of coconut water or two a day Every day I’ll overdo the potassium ;/ I just want to drink somthing that’s still tastey and just as satisfying as soda with less sugar .
You scared to drink coconut water? I would be more worried about drinking two cokes a day!
Everything is better than Soda pops. The less refined sugar and flour you can get the better.
Is 32oz of harmless coconut water a day excessive?
While not a problem (assuming your kidneys are healthy), just keep in mind that you may be getting around 40 grams of sugar with that much coconut water. You might consider substituting water for some of that, and avoiding the sugar.
@@ConsumerlabPlus Americans consume double that so who cares
@@falseleadersareamongus1999 Two wrongs don't make a right. If you haven't noticed, Americans as a group are more obese than ever, not to mention blood sugar issues like diabetes.
Does anyone know if that sugar is added sugar in that coconut water?
I can buy whole coconuts at my local Vietnamese supermarket and cut them open myself. Anyone who can help me with this tell me please
you can buy coconut water with no added sugar and you can buy it with added sugar aswell, you can find out on the ingredients list, if sugar is listed as one of the ingredients then it has been added to the drink .Usually coconut water with added sugar will be like 40 grams or sos and the one without sugar will be in in the 8 gram range depending if there is added pulp or not
I love it and feel great after I drink it
Hi thank you if i have drink real coconut juice 3 coconut aday is ok
If you are referring to coconut water, it's okay but be aware of the sugar -- you may want to have less coconut water and more regular water.
so over all is it worth it as far as health ?
In short, you can drink water and eat a banana and get the same hydration and nutrients at lower cost. But if you enjoy coconut water and don't mind spending more for it, it is fine. Just don't regularly substitute it for water if you are watching your calories.
@@ConsumerlabPlus what about pom drink do you think it's worth it
Please let me know your research papers regarding coconut water
I'm Sunil Bandara
Anything tastings of coconut is beautiful ( like Malibu 👈😋)
Lol its 5 pesos. A whole coconut and its water is 20 to 30 pesos how is it expensive?
Is it good for ur kidneys
This doctor really said Gatorade wtf haha.
Right lol nah can’t trust em
Where is Coco Joy natural coconut water?
Drink natural coconut water from fruit
Well to people who have never tasted real coconut water all that bottled crap taste good. I bought the "ONE" brand and its just cold water at a very high price! So yeah it was COCOnot water. 😒
Corporate Greenwashing !!
this is assuming they add sugar to coconut water. water about 100% pure coconut water out of the coconut. is that high in calories?
I stop eating banana ang drinking coconut it's fattening. My problem with banana is that it ripens quickly. If I get a whole big file it all ripens all together. Grocery is far away that is why i buy a lot. So if I have to eat too much because it ripens quickly I would feel dizzy. I think potassium lowers blood bp.
Is it wise to drink coconut water while juicing on a 21 day.I plan on working out and swimming while doing the juicing program. What do you recommend
Very informative I love coconut and I was just worried for sugar content so still better to drink water
Don't nothing beat drinking the real coconut water it's better than drinking actual water!!! It's so funny to see people put so much trust in people with certificates I wonder how our ancestors survive off the natural fruits of the land I'm pretty sure none of them had any of the illnesses that we have today!!!!
True, but a gatorade would have considerably more sugar in it compared to coconut water.
Not to mention, has artificial colors and flavors which are unhealthy
Hey remember when that woman died after drinking too much water?!
See how scary that sounds without any context or explanation. I’m not against water I enjoy it, it is necessary for life and I encourage people to drink it.
The above statements are both true. The woman was a 28 your old mother of three who died in 2007 after drinking 2 gallons of water in a contest to win a Wii at a radio station. Source The associated press January 13, 2007
I remember this. I thought it was a gallon she drank. This doctor sounds like he is trying to downplay the positive effects of coconut water.
1:41 get my guy some water
Hello I m pragncy lady sir I from canada but my one confused which product use coconut water pls
It’s natural sugar
When you go to the islands where the coconuts are grown and have real coconut water you find its clear and tasteless. You will be told that what we get is coconut flavoured water and is nothing like the real thing.
CarboHYDRATES are necessary for hydration
Not really. Just because the word carbohydrate has the "hydrate" in it does not mean it hydrates, but that it contains hydrogen atoms. Carbohydrates are important sources of energy, though.
Fernando Gereda 🤦🏽♂️
Goya brand probably is my favorite.
its 2 dollars in aldi for 1 liter
WARNING!! DON'T WATCH IT! IT'S CLICK BAIT! THIS FRAUD REVIEWS NONE OF THE COCONUT WATERS! HE JUST TELLS YOU WHAT COCONUT WATER IS
Naked brand is Garbage!
As a medical professional you should be more responsible and do away with man-made products. Nature is the only way to go, so instead tell your viewers the importance of living water such as the one inside coconuts.
